Chapter 1206
The moment the clock struck ten, Sherry strutted off without a care in the world. She barely cared to turn back and look at John.
As soon as she stepped out into the courtyard, John stepped into the living room as well.
The lens of his glasses concealed his look underneath. His face was basked underneath the moonlight, and there was not a trace of emotion on his expression.
He continued heading into the courtyard.
That was when he suddenly felt a pair of arms wrapping around him from behind.
“John, are you leaving already?” It was Shannon. She asked him in a warm voice as she pressed herself against his back.

John frowned. He promptly removed her
arms before he turned around to face her. He put a hand out and patted her head with a mechanical smile. “Yeah, there‘s something urgent I need to deal with, so I probably w
days.”
Shannon frowned. “Are you going on a business trip
again?”
“Yeah.”
Shannon expressed sadly while her eyes slightly reddened. “John, it‘s been two months since we got married, and we have never slept together even once.”
“It‘s my fault for neglecting you. I‘ve been busy.” John brushed her cheeks and apologized softly, “When I come back, I will make it up to you.”
Shannon‘s eyes glowed up upon hearing this. She zipped her lips into a strained smile. “Alright, I‘ll wait for you to come back.”
“Alright.” He smiled, then withdrew his hand and turned to walk outside.
Shannon hurriedly followed after him. They walked out of the courtyard together, and she watched as he got into the car and drove off.
Her expression immediately darkened after. Was that the real reason why he did not sleep with her all this time?
She thought about the voice she heard inside the study just now and found herself balling her hands into fists without realizing it. She knew that as long
as Sherry was around, John would never divert his attention away from her!
The next morning, Sherry went to John‘s courtyard the

It was only after Queenie called John that Sherry was finally informed that he had gone on a business trip and would not be back for a few days.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

she must have had too much to eat. She could still feel her stomach bulging as she woke up.
She stretched lazily and headed outside, planning to go for a walk to aid her digestion.
As soon as she walked out of Queenie’s courtyard, she saw Shannon heading into the shuttle bus. She seemed
rather anxious as if she was excitedly waiting to see someone.
Sherry eyed her suspiciously.
Shannon noticed Sherry staring at her as well. Something flickered in her eyes before she turned away immediately, so all that Sherry could see after that was her side profile.
Shortly after that, the shuttle bus revved its engine and drove off.
That was when Queenie‘s voice suddenly came from behind. “Sherry, what are you doing standing around here? The oranges in the North Garden are all ripening. I‘m going to
